Noam Chomsky

by Robert F Barsky

1998 · MIT Press

This biography describes the intellectual and political milieus that helped shape Noam Chomsky, a pivotal figure in contemporary linguistics, politics, cognitive psychology, and philosophy. It also presents an engaging political history of the last several decades, including such events as the Spanish Civil War, the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the march on the Pentagon to protest the Vietnam War. The book highlights Chomsky's views on the uses and misuses of the university as an institution, his assessment of useful political engagement, and his doubts about postmodernism. Because Chomsky is given ample space to articulate his views on many of the major issues relating to his work, both linguistic and political, this book reads like the autobiography that Chomsky says he will never write. Barsky's account reveals the remarkable consistency in Chomsky's interests and principles over the course of his life. The book contains well-placed excerpts from Chomsky's published writings and unpublished correspondence, including the author's own years-long correspondence with Chomsky. *Not for sale in Canada

Lone Wolfe

by Kevin Robert Aldrich

2025 · Aldys Books

Revenge is a dish best served. Ex-military language expert Lex Wolfe teaches women how to defend themselves against men. She practices her own skills against any man willing to fight her. And few men will. These days, Lex’s fearsome reputation precedes her. But no matter how many men she beats, Lex cannot beat the memories in her head. When Lex’s ex-husband, Major Nick Hadley, finds Lex in Manila to offer her a job only she could do, Lex initially refuses, setting a price tag the U.S. military would never pay. When Nick agrees to the amount, then tells Lex the job is to rescue three female journalists abducted in war-torn Sudan, Lex cannot refuse. Once she arrives in Khartoum, alone, Lex begins a journey through the middle of a civil war, witnessing first-hand the atrocities war creates. With the help of a local guide, Lex searches for the three lost women. Traveling through shifting alliances, decimated countryside, and her own painful memories, Lex finds far more than she expected. “Lone Wolfe” is a haunting thriller that will bend your mind, break your heart, and leave you aching for more.
